Five Sons Plaster and Remodeling: Drywall & Damage Restoration in Peoria, IL

After a sump pump failure, look for damp baseboards, bubbling or peeling paint on drywall, musty odors, or visible water pooling in basements or crawl spaces. If you notice these signs within hours or a day, call us immediately. Quick response can limit damage to just wall finish repair or wall patching rather than full drywall replacement, saving time and expense.

It depends on the extent of the damage. If the leak was small and we can dry the area thoroughly within a few days, we often can do drywall repair with wall patching and texturing. But if the drywall has been soaked for longer, it may weaken or grow mold, requiring drywall installation or replacement. We assess each case individually to give you the most cost-effective solution that keeps your home safe.

We provide both emergency water extraction and subsequent drywall repair. While damage restoration includes addressing the water source, we always recommend extracting standing water and drying the area first. Our team can handle that step or coordinate with a restoration partner. Either way, we ensure the space is dry before we begin wall texturing, wall finish installation, or any drywall work, so you're not left patching over a hidden problem.
